Who Am I?

T.T.T.O. Niggun Shamil

          As I look deep inside of myself,
          I realize where I am now holding.
          And I think back and I recall,
          where I held before.
          'What is so different?' I wonder.

Before I know, I was on a lower plane;
but now am I really a true bochur?!
I still don't enjoy davening
and learning very much at all;
what does all of this mean?

          Who am I?
          What am I?
          Who do I represent?
          Do I really know all the answers?

* * * * *

I am Dovid Nissan Roetter, it is as simple as that.
And I am a yid no matter what.
I represent the Rebbe, I am his shliach.
Yes, I do know the answers!

          Even though I may not be that high,
          I am still higher than I was before.
          That is really what counts;
          and that is all that I care about.

Who am I?
What am I?
Who do I represent?
I am a Jew, a shliach, and I grew.

          On this Rosh Hashanah I Know that I
          may not be judged for a sweet year.
          Yet, I won't let that bring me back
          down to where I was before.
          I will only grow and grow even more!

I will only overcome any obstacle this year.
This I promise with
all my heart and soul.
I don't want to go back
to where I was before.
I want only to grow.

          Who am I?
          What am I?
          Who do I represent?
          I am a Jew, a shliach, and I grew.
